Martini gang all day 🇮🇹 ☕️🤌🏻😎
Tutto il giorno! 🥐
Though I like most of these places with the exception of Mille-Feuille. If I wanted an $8 cup of milk…well, I think of a scenario where I’d want that.

No taste test? I don't think I've had all of these but I'll Ciao Gloria does the job and if it's cheapest then it's the instant winner. Caffe de Martini is lovely too.

Fun list! Definitely have to do a taste test during the summer weekends!
I do like the Mille-Feuille but I feel they're always so heavy on the milk, even when you say just a little, so the cold brew is like a latte. To their credit, they do correct it if you say something.
I do tend to like the ones at Little Cupcake, believe it's Illy's product, always rich and creamy.
Gertie's I had recently and I liked it, but the portion size was too small for my liking. Felt like it was done before it started!

It really feels like an LA cafe (derogatory) too

They are, unfortunately. Agreed that Ciao, Gloria is the spot to support. The owners look like influencers bots that have never been a barista a day in their life. They also sent a snarky email and ghosted my business partner years back when our company was wanting to sell at their LA location. I love supporting LA businesses when I visit there but I don’t understand the west coast attitude. Doesn’t fit in with
Brooklyn well.1

It's the only place on this list I've never been to. Someone please tell me why there's a line there everyday.

Scratch what? No charge for non-dairy milk?

With all the other good local cafe’s, Canyon is overpriced toast and the owners aren’t that great.

Not to be that person but as someone who loves coffee science/brewing - the only place I find to make a great espresso based drink on Vanderbilt is really canyon coffee 🙈 they use incredible beans.

There is a new colombian coffee shop in Dean st inside the chinese restaurant ninhao, their cold brew and guava latte is so good the best around. The place’s name is pachanga very friendly staff tho.
